Description

PATCH CONTAINING NON-STEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUG < RTI ID = 0.0 >

The present invention relates to a patch containing a non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug and more particularly to a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug comprising a transdermal formulation containing a specific amount of a low molecular weight polyethylene glycol and a polyethylene glycol component consisting of a specific amount of a high molecular weight polyethylene glycol Wherein the polyethylene glycol component can inhibit crystallization or sublimation of the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug and an adhesive layer of the patch can be easily formed, Excellent skin permeability.

Common examples of common methods of administration of pharmaceutical drugs include oral administration, for example, transdermal administration via the skin, hair, and oral cavity (including mucosa), and injection. Among these methods, the transdermal patch is a preferable administration method because the possibility of drug side effects is low and is easily administered. Transdermal patches for drug delivery are known from US 2005/0129748. Melt-extruded thin strips containing nicotine for oral administration are known from WO 2011/081628.

From these perspectives, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, for example in JP-A-2002-193793, PCT patent applications WO-A-1-2004 / 82672 and JP- The development of a patch comprising

Such a patch is commonly used as a preparation containing a support on which an adhesive layer of an adhesive composition (ointment composition) is formed. The adhesive composition includes a "water-soluble adhesive composition" using a water-soluble polymer or the like, and a "water-insoluble adhesive composition"

Here, the "water-insoluble adhesive composition" has an advantage that it is capable of dissolving drugs poorly soluble in water. Therefore, the composition can be preferably used as an adhesive composition for patches containing a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug resistant to water.

However, "non-aqueous adhesive compositions" added to the pharmaceutical preparations during manufacture can dissolve non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs, but some non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs may crystallize over time " The resulting crystals can be sublimed. As a result, the transdermal absorption of the drug can be reduced.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a patch containing a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug capable of inhibiting crystallization or sublimation of a drug, an adhesive layer of the patch is easily formed, and the patch has excellent skin permeability of the drug.

Typically, the crystallization of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug in the adhesive layer can be inhibited by increasing the amount of polyethylene glycol (PEG 400) as a polyhydric alcohol, for example. However, increasing the addition amount of polyethylene glycol in this way causes a new problem in that the adhesive layer has too high cohesiveness and hinders the processing into the patch.

In order to avoid this problem, it has been considered that the addition amount of polyethylene glycol (PEG 400) should be suppressed to about 5% by weight.

The inventors of the present invention have intensively studied to solve the above problems. As a result, it has been found that the addition of high molecular weight polyethylene glycol which is solid at normal temperature to a low molecular weight polyethylene glycol such as polyethylene glycol (PEG 400) Of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug can inhibit crystallization or sublimation of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and that the flowability of the adhesive layer can be maintained within an appropriate range that easily forms an adhesive layer.

It has also been found that the patch in which the final adhesive layer is formed has excellent skin permeability of the non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug used, thus completing the present invention.

Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs are selected from the group consisting of ibuprofen, ketoprofen, flubiprofen, diclofenac, and naproxen. Preferably, the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug is selected from the group consisting of ibuprofen, ketoprofen, and naproxen.

result:

After storage at 40 ° C, each drug content of the dermal formulation (ibuprofen) remained above 97% compared to the initial content. Therefore, the transdermal preparation of the patch of the present invention was found to have excellent stability.

Test Example 4: Industrial adaptability test

The patch of Example 2 and the patch of Example 2 are different from the patches of Examples 32 and 33, the patch of Example 15, and the patch of Example 15 in which the high molecular weight polyethylene glycol content is different. The patches of Examples 34 and 35 and the patches of Examples 17 and 18 and the patches of Examples 17 and 18 were evaluated for industrial applicability to the patch of Example 36, which had a high molecular weight polyethylene glycol content different.

The component contents of each patch are shown in Table 5.

Industrial applicability was evaluated by evaluating kneading performance, transfer performance, and ointment spreading performance according to the evaluation methods and evaluation criteria shown in Table 6. In the meantime, the lowest evaluation among knitting performance, transmission performance and ointment spreading performance was used to evaluate the patch adaptability of the industry.

Table 6: Evaluation methods and evaluation criteria of industrial adaptability Item Assessment Methods Evaluation standard Industrial adaptability Knitting performance Evaluate agitation performance in kneading ointment. A: Great.
B: Stirring is possible.
C: Agitation is possible but not preferred.
D: Poor. Transmission performance Evaluate the performance of the knitted ointment delivered to the ointment spreader. A: Great.
B: Transportation is possible.
C: Transportation is possible but not desirable.
D: Poor. Ointment spreading performance Evaluate spreading performance. A: Great.
B: Spreading is possible.
C: Spreading possible but not desirable.
D: Poor.

The results of the evaluation of the industrial applicability are shown in Table 7 together with the 24-hour accumulated permeation amount (Examples 2, 15 and 18 only) and the presence of crystal precipitation and sublimation.

result:

Any of the patches of Examples 2, 15, 18 containing 10% by weight of high molecular weight polyethylene glycol showed excellent 24 hour accumulation throughput, no crystallization or sublimation, but these patches exhibited somewhat lower industrial applicability Proved.

On the other hand, patches containing an amount of less than 7.5% by weight of the high molecular weight polyethylene of Examples 2, 15 and 18 have improved industrial applicability (Examples 32, 34 and 36), Examples 32, 34 and 36 Patches containing an amount of less than 5% by weight less than the amount of high molecular weight polyethylene of Examples 33, 35 and 17 were further improved in industrial applicability.
